Sorry to bring back this problem with the nsfw tags and blogs, I’m sure you’re sick of hearing it. But it just keeps getting better— they say it’s to wipe out kid porn of course, which is great but… tell me why, then, the tags “daddy” and “daddykink” are still 100% open, and tags like “adultsex” are shut down? I’m not kinkshaming, even I get a little dirty & submissive, but let’s be real with each other for a second ?

As a guy who understands relational database management systems (RDBMS) and queries far better than I’d like to admit, I don’t think the “tag purge” is really a high return on investment strategy; that is Tumblr just trying to save face and get back on Apple’s good side so they will push this to the Apple Store.

The technical processes that will gain the most bang for the buck for Tumblr are (a) image analysis using big data analytics, which they already do, and (b) making reporting of scumbags a little easier, possibly by adding a button or something to each post in the Graphical User Interface. This is not enough to get on Apple’s good side I suspect, hence the drastic measures.

Fuck Apple. They have no business doing this. Apple really is the bad guy here.

Tumblr is huge in terms of active users and tons of people use this as a sole source of income and it’s a big deal for a lot of people. There are more people on Tumblr than LinkedIn, Skype, Twitter, and even Instagram, according to some sources. Tumblr is doing whatever they can to keep advertisers from dropping like flies and Apple is a bunch of zealots trying to un-porn the world.

Apple is the issue. Makes me want to ditch my multiple iPhones and MacBook Pro. I’ve spent 10K on Apple products the past 2 years. Apple deserves a hit for this kind of crap.

They police the 1st Amendment like a bunch of fucking Puritans. Look, kiddy porn is fucking disgusting to even think about, but it’ s not Apple’s job monitor this in this in the first place.

It is the job of law enforcement and it is the job of Tumblr (the content provider), to put in place measures to prohibit or limit this, which they have been doing for years and pretty well, to be fair to Tumblr. This is just Apple being a bunch of Puritan fuckheads.

It just sucks ass because Android phones are shit and Windows OS is not much better.
